Study:Brains of homosexuals, heterosexuals react differently

#1 Postby SamSagnella » Mon May 08, 2006 10:08 pm

A very interesting article I think everyone should read:

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Lesbians' brains react differently to sex hormones than those of heterosexual women.

An earlier study of gay men also showed their brain response was different from straight men -- an even stronger difference than has now been found in lesbians."

"In both cases the findings add weight to the idea that homosexuality has a physical basis and is not learned behavior."

CNN.com Health- Lesbians' brains respond like straight men

Hopefully this will be the beginning of the end for discrimination against gays.

I recall there was a study done a while ago that showed that homosexual mens' brains differed from heterosexuals' brains in one particular area/part--the part actually differed in size. I cannot for the life of me recall the name of the brain part though. It was publicized several years ago.

Makes a pretty good argument for orientation being nature rather than choice.

There are thousands of studies on every issue every day all over the world. I take them with a grain of salt. They are merely studies and opinions.

I could have said as much, but that might be because I am one.
